Fantasy Tip: Weaver is 8-8 with a 5.32 ERA overall and should only be rostered in deeper AL-only fantasy leagues at this point. He is 0-3 with a 9.39 ERA in three outings against the Astros this season, so remember that and avoid him next time Houston pops up on the schedule.

Fantasy Tip: Gattis isn't the defender Jason Castro is being the plate and has seen his usual designated hitter role filled by a number of players lately, in part due to his .218 average. He's still worth starting in most 12-team-or-larger leagues due to his power, but owners need to recognize the at-bats might not be there like they once were.

Fantasy Tip: Weaver has allowed one run or less in three of his last five starts, but he has a 5.02 ERA overall and poor strikeout totals. At best, he is a roll-of-the-dice play in DFS formats against friendly matchups.

Fantasy Tip: Weaver is coming off a quality start and win at Tampa Bay, allowing just one earned run with five strikeouts over six innings. He has struggled with a 6.18 ERA in nine starts at home this season, but with his dominance of the White Sox he is a must-start fantasy option in daily leagues and DFS play for Sunday.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP Jered Weaver hasn't gone more than 5 1/3 innings since a three-hit shutout against the Oakland Athletics June 19 and has allowed 10 runs in his last two starts combined. Weaver has also surrendered 20 home runs, including at least one in all but two starts.

Fantasy Tip: Weaver just isn't fooling anyone with his smoke-and-mirrors act on the mound. He has an ugly 5.51 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and is striking out just 5.1 hitters per nine innings. Avoid him in all fantasy formats.

Fantasy Tip: Weaver slipped below .500 on the season, and he has a 5.51 ERA with a subpar 1.48 WHIP. His numbers across the board are well over his career averages and he is only worth using in larger AL-only fantasy formats at this point of his career.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP Jered Weaver took the loss and dropped to 5-6 overall Monday, June 13, in a 9-4 defeat against the Minnesota Twins. Weaver allowed eight hits and six runs in six innings, taking his fifth loss in seven starts. The veteran right-hander has allowed 18 homers this season, the most in the majors.

Fantasy Tip: It is unknown whether Weaver's preseason injury issues, or just plain ineffectiveness, is at fault here, but if this continues the team might step in and shut Weaver down or address the problem. It is clear Weaver is slumping and should not be used in any format.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP Jered Weaver said his lack of fastball velocity has limited the deception and effectiveness of his changeup.
"When you're not throwing as hard velocity-wise, it's not going to have the same effect," Weaver said. "I'm still working hard to try to get some velo back, and trying to maintain it. Until that happens, it's probably not going to be as effective a pitch as it was in the past."

Fantasy Tip: Weaver's analysis sounds as encouraging as his current 5.56 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 5.4 K/9 look. He cannot be started with confidence, and he shouldn't be owned outside of cavernous mixed and AL-only leagues. Even in those deep settings, there isn't a lot to be optimistic about.
